    Ive done 2 model a's one 34 and one 32 from start to finish paint and interior in a winter. Thats a winter for each car..I was working a day job too. Ive kinda slowed down after the heart attack but plan to have my roadster done by next spring. My 32 coupe I did in 6 months and i busted ass on that one. Id say one good michigan winter will get you a nice car. 2 winters prolly better. The problem is workin cuts into your free time :)
